Lololol I flashed the Blazer ICS alpha and then got locked out of my own phone somehow. Had to go through a long process of getting recovery back and reverting to my Nandroid backup of 4.0.

But otherwise, ICS rocks :P

I also flashed the odex script from ericwgarza1, everything is working great so far, nothing appears to be broket, yet..lol.

Its buggy for me too.

All's Good!

So, having done every single incremental update since I started with Blazer 3.2, I was a bit scared to perform the full wipe, as PH recommended.

Coming from Blazer 3.9, El29 radio, stock kernel/recovery included with ROM:

Titanium Backup - all apps+data (just in case)

Nandroid - Full backup

>>Calkulin's FORMAT ALL<< (the scary part)

Flashed Blazer 4.0

Then used Team Rouge's/CWM > backup/restore > Advanced Restore and just restored DATA. Never tried this before, so was curious how it would work.

1st Reboot - All my data was there, and it was oh so pretty.

Back into recovery and flashed modem to FB15

Rebooted - everything working great!

No issues - tried all Google apps, working great. Performed PRL &etc updates - all fine. GPS locked on within seconds (wifi off).

I don't notice any speed increases in the ROM, but that's probably due to Launcher Pro being an un-optimized, 10 year old launcher. Just can't live without my scrollable widgets ;-)

So yesterday after flashing 4.0 I decided I wanted to do a little experiment because I was not doing anything or going anywhere. So what I decided to do was see how long my battery would last on a charge while playing a youtube video. Basically I wanted to see how long the display could be on while something was running. So I decided to run it through dolphin mini, 50% brightness, wifi on, using EL29 kernel and FB15 modem. I played one of griz's livestreams from the other day that is almost 4 hours long. I dont know if this means anything or whatever but I was just curious and thought I would share my results. :D
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] elterible:
So I did a full wipe, flashed Blazer 4.0 and FB15 modem. Everything seems to be working great.

However, I was wondering if anyone else experiences this: when I go to "about phone" to check software version, it is reading as "Blazer EL29 v3.8". I am certain installed the right ROM and I was previously running 3.9. Any thoughts?

For those who did the advanced restore-data from CWM, does it also keep your system settings? Like wifi passwords, ringtone settings, clock alarms, ect?

never tried advanced restore and didn't know you could just restore certain parts of a nandroid backup. would it work when switching between roms as well?

i had the same thing before i did my nandroid restore... nandroid fixed it. i avoided titanium backup (i had made one but did not feel the need to use it since my nandroid restore seems quite solid). so in short i suggest doing another restore? other idea: are you sure all animations are turned off in display settings?

---------- Post added at 03:30 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:28 PM ----------

i just checked; mine says "blazer v3.9"

i'm also sure this is the latest flash and i came from 3.9 - could it have to do with nandroid restore?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] lsmosdef:
Yeah same here.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] cidica:
think I might go back down to 3.8 again. I like the changes with 4.0 but android OS is acting funky (at least for me) once more. I've got like 2 things syncing Gmail and contacts the rest I have turned off and Android OS is stilling at 34% yet with 3.8 I had a ton more syncing and android OS was sitting at around 6-10% all the time. I think 3.8 at least for me was a sweet spot.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] EeZeEpEe:
We're you on a different kernel with 3.8?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] cidica:
I flashed the Hitman kernel after 3.8 was installed and I kept both hitman and gunslinger on the internal rom just incase I needed to flash something for Blazer as I knew of the problem with the Touch recovery. But I had Zero issues with the Touch recovery. Right now I'm on the stock kernel that's with 4.0 I might end up going back to hitman and giving it a few days to see how things are but right now 4.0 is just not liking my phone.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] GRBlitz:
When I update my PRL, is the PRL Version under status supposed to change? Mine says 60683 even after updating... Any ideas peeps???
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] cidica:
that means there is currently no newer prl then what you have. It's just always a good thing to check it after you put in a new rom just incase something has been changed.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] EeZeEpEe:
Yeah was on Hitman with 3.9 then went down to Gunslinger for the 4.0 upgrade. I also did a full wipe. I'm back with Hitman now and seems fine.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] cidica:
Hrm interesting. I'll flash hit man here in a few once I let the phone charge up a bit past 50% and give it a few days to see how things go. If that's the issue then cool I can live with having to swap kernals around for flashing updates without a problem. My main issue right now is I'm going to be rooting a friends phone next week and I'm going to put him on Blazer so I'm trying to see where the sweet spot is so he has next to no issues. I'm the tester for all of my friends SGS2's on Sprint lol I hate this job at times.....
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] oiad:
isn't the only difference between gunslinger and hitman the inclusion of cwm touch? that's all I see in the changelog.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] EeZeEpEe:
Yes. Kernels are the same. Recoveries are different. Also Blazer has a problem with updating touch recovery.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] revamper:
You are correct. Just use gunslinger!

Cant figure out which Nandroid is current...

Hi all

Just did a Nandroid to back up before flashing Blazer 4.0

After flashing 4.0 and FB15 I went into advanced recovery to recover data as talked about in the recent posts.

When I look at the nandroid files they have really obscure dates for file names and I cant tell which one is the one I just made.

I chose the top one and I think it was not the most current as my phone is hanging on the boot screen after restoring data.

Anyone have any advice on how to tell which nandroid is the most current?

Thanks
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] 5FOOTER:
They should have the date in the file name.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] EeZeEpEe:
Your backups should be titled by date and time like this:
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] einsteins:
There are 2 that have 2010 in them and 1 that has 2012 in it but date is in January.

So I flashed Blazer 4.0 and fb15 this morning at work (I know, productive work day!) And I thought I'd share my experiences.

ROM seems to be running great. Great work as always Phantom.

At work, the modem was pulling data great (I'd say about double my avg speeds from el26). However, when I got home, the speeds were horrific. So slow in fact that speed test app was barely able to run. I should mention that the internet speeds at my house sucks.

So my totally unscientific conclusion is that fb15 is better in good coverage areas but worse in bad areas. For now, i'm going back to el26, I'd rather have more consistent coverage.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] limeaid:
I just installed Blazer using this method and everything worked perfectly. The CWM advanced restore is the greatest thing since sliced bread. Why do people even bother with Titanium? I actually feel stupid for not knowing about this method earlier.

Everything is working great for me on 4.0 and FB15 so far

Hey everyone I just have one little flaw with my set up. First off, huge congrats on your work PH. I haven't seen this discussed and I've read this whole thread already but the problem that I'm having is I did do a full complete wipe then fresh install of 4.0, rebooted system to make sure that everything is running smooth then booted back to recovery to flash FB 15 modem and the odex script. After flashing to odex I no longer have any notification bar at all on the home screen. Did I possibly do something wrong? Thanks.

I'd like to first say I LOVE LOVE LOVE this ROM. The latest version is the first one I've tried and digging it thus far. The only problem I'm having is in regards to LCD density. Learned awhile back if I want the market to work I have to either stick w/ 240 or use 160. So I've been rocking 160 and love it. With this ROM whenever I set it to 160 the notification bar gets messed up. Can't read any of the alerts...just a blur of blue. The lowest density I can use is 175.

Is anyone successfully using an LCD density of 160 without any notification bar issues? If so, did you do anything special?

Anyone else getting high battery use from android os? On Phantom's 3.7 it would be at most 2/3 of this. I am using stock kernel, EL29 modem, Calk's Modified launcher and mainly 3g. I want to say my display time is about 30 mins less on this rom vs 3.7. I did a full wipe before installing (except my sd card), wiped battery stats and am on my 3rd day with the rom.

Google Voice?

I just switched to this ROM and love it over all, but after installing Google Voice I'm not provided with the ability to make calls with it. Anyone else having this problem? Outside of integrating with Sprint it gives me none of the options necessary to place outgoing calls either by default or by asking each time. Any idea why this might be? Is it the ROM, or a coincidental update? This is a vital feature for me and I'd hate to have to switch off of this ROM so quickly after finding it.
